Mines Road has fully reopened to traffic after less than a week’s worth of work wrapped up an estimated three-week roadway repair project near the Mendenhall Springs area south of Livermore.

The Alameda County Public Works Agency announced last Friday that the total shutdown of the unincorporated road at Mile Marker 6.50 had been lifted. The project, which began on Sept. 30, was originally scheduled to last until Oct. 19.

The county said that “by expediting construction and working around the clock, the contractor was able to complete the project in less than a week, significantly ahead of the planned three-week closure.”

Crews were working to correct erosion-related damage on Mines Road near the Crane Ridge Road intersection, with Arroyo Mocho and Mendenhall Road to the south. The area has been the focus of roadwork and partial closures off and on amid distressed pavement conditions since the winter.
